Ingredients

2 teaspoons salt
3/4 pound Brussels sprouts, ends trimmed, loose leaves removed
1/2 pound bacon, thinly cut into 1/4-inch pieces
1 1/2 cups diced yellow onion
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper
1/4 cup grated Parmesan, for garnish

Directions

Fill a large pot 3/4 of the way with water and add 1 teaspoon of salt and the Brussels sprouts. Put the pot over high heat and bring to a boil. Let boil until the Brussels sprouts are just fork tender about, 8 to 10 minutes. Remove from the heat, drain the sprouts and transfer to an ice bath. Let cool completely, then drain and set aside.

Cut the Brussels sprouts into 1/4-inch lengthwise slices and set aside. Add the bacon to a medium saute pan, and cook until just crisp, then remove to a paper towel lined plate to drain. Adjust heat to medium-high, add the onions to the pan and saute until they are translucent and just beginning to caramelize, about 5 or 6 minutes. Add the butter to the pan, then add the Brussels sprouts and saute for 3 to 4 more minutes. Season with the remaining 1 teaspoon of salt and 1 teaspoon of pepper. Transfer to a serving bowl or platter and sprinkle with the reserved bacon and the cheese. Serve immediately.

THE Best Brussel Sprouts Ever!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

When looking for a new way to fix Brussel sprouts, I saw this show and decided to give the receipe a try for Thanksgiving and... both my husband and I are glad I did! Not exactly figure friendly by using the amount of bacon required and then the drippings to saute the sprouts in. I did drain off most of the drippings at the end before adding the sprouts and the butter and only added part of the Parmesan cheese. Even the reheated leftovers were tasty. This was an easy recipe to follow. Thanks, Guy, for showing us another way to fix this veggie and as we say for Good Eats at our house -- a definite do-over!Read more

Out of this world
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

Made these tonight for my family my parents said that they were the best brussel sprouts they have ever eaten, and they were... very easy. I made them with the pork wellington that Alton Brown makes and with the apple and garlic mashed potatoes it was a great combination.Read more

Easy and delicious
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

No one in my family has ever liked brussel sprouts except for my husband. For YEARS he has been grumbling that I never make... them for him. After seeing this recipe done on TV, I thought I would give it a try. I am so glad I did! This was an easy recipe to execute. It didn't take too long and my entire family loved it. The only problem? I made a smaller amount thinking it would be going to waste anyway, but infact, the kids were fighting over who was going to finish it off (dad won out). I will DEFINATELY be making this recipe again.Read more

nice Fall side dish
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

Only changes were cut sprouts in 1/4's and used Asiago cheese. We served them with grilled chicken breast that were... marinated in balsamic vinegar and bitter orange and salt potatoes with rosemary, lemon butter.Read more
